Day 2 and the ice that didn't come.

Today...day 2 of my new career was good! I arrived and was immediately taken from paperwork to on the floor where I participated in the freezing rain and ice storm event. That was wonderful! I was thrown right into it. The hubub quieted down pretty quickly around 9-10am, and then I worked on AWIPS and my paperwork for the rest of the day. So overall the day was amazing! I feel less like a visitor in the workplace and that I belong, which is really really nice.

Tomorrow morning I start shift work, the 6-2 shift with the current Intern as my trainer. Should be fun. I'll be getting use to the 6-2 shift as it's what I'll be doing for the next 3 weeks when I'm in town. Very exciting.

Wichita didn't get the much ice, and what did accumulate on the trees, melted by late afternoon with the 33-34 degree temps. However, Salina, Hutchison and north of Wichita did get a lot of ice and have a lot of power outages and tree limbs down. Tonight it was still misting and it's about 28-29...so it will probably be freezing again, but the worst is gone and Wichita was spared.

All in all a great day and I'm looking forward to the remainder of the week. I best head to bed though so that i can get up at 4:30am. Fun times! HA!

Picture of the day....

The Blarney stone at Blarney Castle. See the window and the shadow of people above it. That holds the Blarney stone. You must kiss the blarney stone while hanging upside down to have the gift of eloquence. I've done that, hopefully I have eloquence.

Much Love
